School budget voters went to the polls Tuesday for the first time since the state enacted its new two-percent property tax cap.
Locally, the Holland district was able to pass a spending plan that exceeded the cap.
A "super majority" of 60 percent voter approval is needed for passage of budgets above the cap; 65 percent of Holland voters backed the plan.
It was different story in Niagara Wheatfield and Wyoming where voters rejected proposals calling for nearly ten percent tax increases.
Niagara-Wheatfield officials say they now need to cut $2.7 million in spending from next year's budget.
Cheektowaga-Sloan and Wyoming also failed to pass school budgets.
